Decentralized Control of Cooperative Multi-robot Systems
Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering, 1999Several autonomous robots performing a common task not achievable by a single robot must coordinate their actions in order to succeed. A centralized control strategy may ensure this coordination, but it is often impractical due to strong restrictions on required feedback structure, inter-robot communications and tolerable time-delays.

Multi-Robot Systems: A Perspective
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1994Abstract This paper presents a classification of multi-robot systems and a review of loosely coupled systems is presented. Current trends are identified and practical problems presented by this type of systems discussed. Simple applications are intruduced which highlight the current industrial state of the art.

Programming Multi-robot Systems with X-KLAIM
2022Software development for robotics applications is still a major challenge that becomes even more complex when considering a Multi-Robot System (MRS). Such a distributed software has to perform multiple cooperating tasks in a well-coordinated manner to avoid unsatisfactory emerging behavior. This paper provides an approach for programming MRSs at a high

Middleware for Multi-robot Systems
2019Recent advances in robotics technology have made it viable to assign complex tasks to large numbers of inexpensive robots. The robots as an ensemble form into a multi-robot system (MRS), which can be utilized for many applications where a single robot is not efficient or feasible.

Aquatic multi-robot system for lake cleaning
CLAWAR 2013, 2013This paper discusses the design of a multi-robot system of autonomous aquatic vehicles that can be used for cleaning of lakes and maintenance of fisheries. The traditional method of removing the weeds manually and collecting them along with other surface wastes is highly inefficient and labour intensive.

Fog-Enabled Multi-Robot System
2019Robots are used widely in many fields now, such as earthquake rescue, smart factory, and so on. They bring us lots of convenience in daily lives, save huge manpower in factories, and help to complete many mission-possible tasks in some cases. For these applications, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), efficient management, and collaboration ...

Distributed Coordination in Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Systems
Autonomous Robots, 2003Coordination in multi-robot systems is a very active research field in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, since through coordination one can achieve a more effective execution of the robots' tasks. In this paper we present an approach to distributed coordination of a multi-robot system that is based on dynamic role assignment. The approach relies on

2008
In recent decades many important problems concerning mobile robots control algorithms have been solved. In order to integrate those solutions into complex, reliable, production-quality systems, an effort must be made to define abstract methodologies, architectures and frameworks, that would provide common functionalities and support features desirable ...

Enhanced Connectivity Maintenance for Multi–Robot Systems
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2012Abstract In this work, the decentralized control law proposed in [Sabattini et al., 2011b] for multi-robot connectivity maintenance is enhanced by means of a selective action. The idea is to identify critical agents, i.e. agents for which a disconnection might cause the split of the communication graph, and limit the control action to those agents ...

An analysis of coordination in Multi-Robot Systems
SMC'03 Conference Proceedings. 2003 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. Conference Theme - System Security and Assurance (Cat. No.03CH37483), 2004Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) are, nowadays, an important research area within Robotics and Artificial Intelligence and a growing number of systems have been recently presented in the literature. In this paper we present an analysis of the most relevant works on MRS by specifically examining their cooperative aspects.
